i just got done settin up my room but the tri-meter read outs go crazy from 1.0 to 9.4 on the ph and same deal with the ppm's. i have a dig. ballast and when its off the meters fine.how far away does the ballast have to be for this to work help
 
nobody's ran into this???

oh ya this meter is junk i have 2 does your battery even charge? mine doesn't and if you hold the ppm meter near a cfl bulb when its on it reads 6000+ppm LOL for some reason the meter even converts tds ec and ppm on the same scale??????? ec1.5 tds.15 ppm150 ????WTF i thought there was supposed to be a .7 conversion?


i wish i could get my money back or a better meter! it was a great idea but ive had nothing but issues with this thing. i ve to put it as far from my lights and electronics as possible FAR AWAY just to get decent readings. and even then they are suspect!
 
that sux,i just got 2 lumatek 1k's and the nutradip trimeter and soon and i plugged the new lights in the meter went way out to lunch,unplug the lights meter reads fine,i do like the meter aside from that but maybe i could return the meter if and while i still can...:(

btw,has anyone had any luck dealing with this meter running lumateks yet?
 
Hey
I have both trimeter and a digital balast. I was told its the FR put off by the balast screws with the EC in the meter. I dont know what distance to use but my meter is mounted on the outside of my tent and I have the foil bubble wrap for heat protection. That kills my RF feedback. My meter and ballast are about 3-4 feet from each other and I have never had a problem.
Mine is with the readings. On all the forums they say never go above 1200PPM. i go off the botanicare labes and in veg Im at 1150ppm. I use RO water and everything. I use the 1000PPm solution to calibrate it. I just dont know why my readings are so high. My girls seem to be fine cause it was drooping the other day so i upped it to 2000 and it cause some burning so I went back to where its at. Its just fine now. I think it was the high temp I also think I had too much water in my DWC. How do you know what is too much. Im use to ebb and flow. FIrst time with a DWC keeping a mother alive. can any of you help?
